Pork loin has been on sale for 1.48 per lb so I bought three this week.Getting the grinder out and going to make up a couple of batches of sausages, a few lbs of ground pork, and some big chops from the lean ends for the freezer. I brought home some nice fat from work and am gong to go for about 20-25% fat in these recipes. I already made Bratwurst and Hot Italian a few weeks ago so I don't need any of those. Today I am going with fresh Mexican Chorizo, and a version of Andouille.
Here are the recipes:
Andouille
6-lbs ground pork
3-1/3-tbsp finely minced garlic
2-tbsp salt
1-tsp freshly ground black pepper
1-tsp cayenne
1-tsp chili powder
1/8-tsp mace
1/8-tsp allspice
1/2-tsp dried thyme
1-tbsp paprika
1/4-tsp ground bay leaf
1/4-tsp sage
3-tbsp liquid smoke
1-cup cold red wine
Chorizo
5 lb Pork
1 lb pork fat
3 tblsp ground chili blend(Ancho, guajillo)
1.5 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
1 tsp ground coriander
3 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp whole cumin seed
1 tsp cayenne
3 tblsp sweet paprika
6 tsp kosher salt
1/4 red wine vinegar
half a cup of fresh, chopped cilantro
Some chopped fresh chilis. (Not sure how much of this yet. I have some nice small ones but they are pretty hot. We'll see.)
Heading in to the kitchen now. Photos to follow.
